Defying Destiny

Imagine sitting in your tenth grade class and hearing enormous planes roar overhead. Imagine hearing your head was telling you something big and bad was about to happen. Imagine your high school being part of the school complex your eight year old sister attends also. Imagine hearing the preschoolers screaming for their lives over the screeching sounds of propellers and the metallic shrill of endless bullets raining down onto your school. Imagine the bombs dropping endlessly, but you have nowhere to go but under your desk. Imagine hearing your families scream for help under debris when all you could do was scream across the courtyard. Imagine seeing all of your loved ones dying as you peek around your desk to see what was happening. Imagine all of this happening in a matter of seconds. Some say it’s crazy, but this is every day for me. It all started with the government and its stupid laws they made about protection, security, and resources… Follow Audrey Young on her journey through pain, loss, love, and war as she fights for her rights against the government. Will she be the most successful war hero at her age of 15 or will she fail to stay alive?
